Amos Yee

[edit]
  • ... that Amos Yee won the Best Actor and Best Short Film awards at the 2011 First Film Fest for a film he made "in his bedroom" at the age of 13?

Created/expanded by Bluerasberry (talk) and Starship.paint (talk). Nominated by Starship.paint (talk) at 07:36, 5 April 2015 (UTC).

  • The article was new (when it was nominated) and long enough. (Shouldn't @Famousamosyee be credited too for creating the page? innocent question) The hook is very interesting and has at least three inline citations validating it. QPQ is also done. The article has multiple reliable sources, but there were bits of close paraphrasing issues detected here and there. Please rephrase "He will be tried as an adult, and faces a fine and up to three years in jail if convicted" and "Christians' knowledge of the Bible and the religion's priests.". Thank you. 001Jrm (talk) 22:58, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
  • @001Jrm: - thank you for taking up the review. I have reworded the two offending sentences, is it better now? I didn't credit "Famous" as that version of the article was actually speedy deleted before being re-created by Blue. If you insist on crediting "Famous", I will, just note their total of two edits to Wikipedia. starship.paint ~ ¡Olé! 08:24, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Well, I personally don't think they're offending sentences, just that they were written the same way as in the sources... but thanks for rewording them... I don't think "Famous" should be credited after the speedy deletion, thanks for clarifying. It's good to go! :) 001Jrm (talk) 19:11, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
